Heart! Heart!

Author: தோழி / Labels: ,

The blood that circulates all over the body, gets pumped in one of the part i.e. heart. 

The functioning of heart can be categorized into two. Due to the expansion and contraction of the heart the blood in the veins will be taken in and out. The chambers of the heart are surrounded by the blood vessels.

The left side of the heart collects the blood from all the organs of the body and sends to lungs.  It removes the carbon-di-oxide from the unpurified blood collected from all the body parts and converts it into oxygen and sends it to the right side of the heart. The right side of the heart pumps this blood back to all the organs of the body.

Due to the blockage of the fat in the blood vessels that surrounded around the heart, it stops the blood flow. This causes heart attack. Apart from this they may also occur due to the contraction and expansion of the heart. This is only considered as cardiac diseases. 

The main reasons that affect the heart are due to the genes, high blood pressure, stress, over weight, smoking, tobacco consumption, alcohol consumption.

The heart can function properly by doing exercises, following diet food, self disciplines, stress-less life. The oil less food is the friend of heart. Atleast here after make it a habit. I wish to remind the Siththars ideology , "Food is medicine and medicine is food". I will discuss this on some other time. 

Though there are very good teatments for the cardiology diseases, no one can disagree that these are too costly for a normal person. The Siththars have told so many yogic methods and treatments to keep the heart healthy. The breathing exercises like Pranayama, Kundalini yoga all these can be used to maintain the heart healthy.

I will share certain treatments that is told by Theraiyar.

"மருந்தும் பரங்கிப் பட்டை ஆறுபலம்
marunthum parangip paettai aarupalam 
குருத்தாள் வேருக் கூருங் கழற்சிக்காயும்
guruththaal vaeruk koorung kazharsikkaayum 
பொறுத்த நன்னாரி பூடும் நுணா வேரும்
poruththa nannaari poodum nunaa vaerum 
தீர்ந்து முழக்கு சேர இடித்திடவே
theernthu muzhakku saera idiththidavae 
இடித்து சூரணம் எழிலாய் வடி செய்து 
idiththu sooranam ezhilaai vadi seythu 
கடித்து சீனியில் கலந்து அருந்திடு
kadiththu seeniyil kalanthu arunthidu 
வடித்து தேரையன் வாக்கு போய்யதீது
vadiththu theraiyan vaakku poayyatheethu 
நடித்த மார் நோய் நடுங்கியே ஓடுமே
nadiththa maar noay nadungiyae oadumae"

- தேரையர் (Theraiyar)

Grind 210g bark of Cucurbita maxima, kurundhan roots, Caesalpinia crista ,  Hemidesmus indicus, roots of Morinda citrifolia, pepper together and filter it and mix with sugar and by consuming it heart diseases can be cured says Theraiyar. He also adds that it would not go wrong.

Ginger, garlic are to be roasted and add palmyra jaggery and grind it, by eating this the irritation caused in the chest can be cured. Apart from this if we eat more number of custard apple then the heart would become healthy.

In the next post I shall meet you with another remedy.
